Hughes-Thrall was a short-lived American-British rock duo formed in 1982, consisting of renowned bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes (formerly of Deep Purple) and guitarist Pat Thrall (ex-Pat Travers Band). Their self-titled debut album, characterized by a hard rock style infused with elements of funk, blues, and pop, is often lauded as an underappreciated gem in the rock genre. Despite the album's critical acclaim and the musicians' individual reputations, the duo disbanded in 1983 due to personal differences and the lack of commercial success. Their unique blend of styles and the skillful musicianship displayed on their sole release continue to influence rock musicians worldwide.
